I like to use the app "Libby". It is on my smartphone but it seems easier, more inclusive and faster on my iPad. I am more interested in non-fiction most of the time and I just found a setting in "Libby" to show only currently available books without getting any audio mixed in. While looking at ebooks available for free exploration this morning, I found "Being Aware of Being Aware" by Rupert Spira. I had never heard of Spira but Dr. Dan Siegel has titled a book entitled "Aware" and several sorts of self-awareness seem valuable. The Libby app makes it quick and easy to have a book that is available for 14 days. I borrowed it and looked up Spira to get an idea of who and what he is.
I have been conscious of internet search and internet browsing for a while. When I want a specific item, I am searching. A widespread icon to mean Search is a magnifying glass:
I saw a comment by Spira that he could give advice to make "the search over." He meant advice to stop the nagging questions about life. I had just been spending quite a bit of time, more or less alternating between searching and exploring. I use Google enough to be aware that sometimes I am exploring or browsing or shopping or nosing around, and sometimes I am after a specific item or piece of information.
Young people have plenty of decisions to make. We all have explorations to see what might be possible: location, mate, job, etc. Once we have a set of likely options, we may want to search for particulars. Some people are aware of the importance of the right, insightful questions. Once a good question is formulated, the search is on for good answers.
